Water leaking in from Fieldstone Foundation
There is a corner of my house that is leaking in some water (see picture)
I had a company come take a look and they want to charge ~$2,700 to install a sump pump and about 15 feet of french drain.
My question to you is, does this sound reasonable for the amount of water already coming in? Or, should I simply try and re-point the foundation myself (in that corner area) and see if that solves the problem first?
Any insight would be helpful! Thanks!
